Master of the Metaphor

The long and short of it is.... You can use non-torque caps in a torques fork but not the other way round. The logic behind the torque interface is its a stiffer more precise interface w/out going to a larger diameter axle.

On my Santa cruz when i change over to a Fox Front from the Rockshox I found out that if you just pulled on the round endcap it was removable and the the wheel slide right on like it was meant to..
Full Disclosure.. I had to go to a bikeshop they showed me that trick otherwise I might not have known..
